The Justice for Walter Rodney Committee yesterday urged President David Granger to be fair and suggested that by prematurely closing the Commission of Inquiry (CoI) into the slaying of Dr Walter Rodney, he could be accused of “civic assassination” of the Commission’s findings.
“…the new President has a chance to establish for himself a record of fairness. Despite the allegations of the PPP, his name was not implicated or compromised in any testimony, oral or documentary, in the public sessions. Having to date not been smeared by the events and manoeuvres of the bloody and felonious assassination of 1980, it is the wish of fair minded people that he is not by his exercise of his authority to close down the Commission, suspected of the civic assassination of the Commission’s findings,” the committee said in a statement yesterday.
Monday is the deadline for the completion of the report by the CoI into the assassination of Rodney.
